4E8 field & runways
Richardton, Richardton, North Dakota. Field elevation 2498 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 11.0°E on record, 6.5°E today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.073°/year west — about 1° every 14 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
